"The cure" is an injection that makes it possible to stop the aging process; first illegal, then legal around the world, this small invention caused the downfall of organized society. Great premise and good development. I liked part 1-2 more, for their resemblance to actual life, but the more it goes on, the more we notice the destruction of a world inhabited by too many people for too much time. Commentary on society, divorce, religion, death and the interactions between man and humanity. The protagonist was a bit flat, but that's his greatest characteristic. <spoiler>John Farell was scared of death, in the end he killed himself to save his love</spoiler>
The Postmortal
**•Finalist for the Philip K. Dick and Arthur C. Clarke Awards • The gripping first novel by Drew Magary, author of The Hike and The Night the Lights Went Out "An exciting page turner. . . . Drew Magary is an excellent writer. The Postmortal is . . . even more terrifying than zombie apocalypse." — Mark Frauenfelder, Boing Boing John Farrell is about to get "The Cure." Old age can never kill him now. The only problem is, everything else still can . . . Imagine a near future where a cure for aging is discovered and-after much political and moral debate-made available to people worldwide. Immortality, however, comes with its own unique problems-including evil green people, government euthanasia programs, a disturbing new religious cult, and other horrors. Witty, eerie, and full of humanity, The Postmortal is an unforgettable thriller that envisions a pre-apocalyptic world so real that it is completely terrifying.
